>>>Science says the Unverse is expanding. If you reverse the process all matter comes back to a point such that the origin is the so-called Big Bang. Science also says the Universe is cooling, with no new energy being created. Had this gone on eternally (looking back in time), then why hasn't all the energy burned itself out by now?

>>Well, you asked for science, science you will get. Energy is eternal. Energy does not disappear. If you burn fossible fuel, it transforms into different other energies: Heat, light and gasses. Material means energy (E = mc^2). There is only one way to destroy energy: by anti-material.

>>Sure, there is much to explore yet and therefore there is a lot of room for intepretation of the unknown, even for scientists. There is an awfull lot we don't know, and perhaps never will know. So there is a lot of room for religion. But religious people will have to accept that things they now explain by the word of god might be narrowed down by science in the future. After all a real scientist is looking for scientifical answers rather than explaining it by a god.

Remember when we had a God for thunder and a God for rain, and a God for the sun and a Goddess for the moon? Well, ok, maybe you don't actually remember, but I'm probably older than you. We have always had God(s) in order to explain what we don't understand, but eventually we begin to understand those things for which we invented a God. I imagine we aren't really finished quite yet.
